Imagine a Magnificent Bulusan Baroque Church



What remains of a  Magnificent Bulusan Baroque Church




This is the back of the old church of Bulusan--a reminder that once upon a time a magnificent 18th century structure that can rival the best of its contemporaries in character and style stood here.
I wonder how they were able to demolish the thick masonry structure to build the new chapel-looking church. Of course, it is more expensive to restore than to build a new one. But the heritage lost is immeasurable.
